What Are The Odds?

Hi. Just finished a ticket game. Final 2 hands. Both hands were 19's. As in zero points. Zeros occur about 7.5% of the time. But 2 in a row? Give me strength. 💪

Odds are just the same as if you were flipping a coin. Just because it landed heads once or twice, or 100 times does not mean that it could or could not happen again. The odds for flipping a coin are 50% regardless of how many times in a row you flip. Odds of a zero hand are close to 8%, or about one in every 12 hands. More often than players think. You may not have a blank hand for the next 100 hands after two in a row. Doesn't mean the odds change.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
